A –The first stage of the project, completed in 2006, yielded an Alternatives Analysis (AA) report that identified and evaluated 150 alternative elements suggested by the public. Those 150 elements were combined into 16 scenarios. After further analysis, the 16 scenarios were reduced to six alternatives that will be studied in more detail in the second phase of the project, the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) process. The project is being conducted in accordance with both the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) and will generate a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). With the completion of the FEIS process, the federal lead agencies, FHWA and FTA, will issue a Record of Decision (ROD) and the three state sponsors will issue a Statement of Findings.
